yeah left one started shaking when i got to my boys house then when i got home the passenger side was slightly shaking but the drivers side was pulling hardcore
surprised i didnt get accused of drunk driving or pulled over for the shaking and swerving

car is on the highest setting with the skunkworks coilovers and it gives me a drop about 1.5 in or two, not enought to make it a horrible ride
as for the camber kit i think its just a ingalls adjustable kit

Probably a result of those aftermarket camber kit parts on there. I guarantee that would not have happened with stock parts.

YET ANOTHER reason NOT to use a camber kit! Shock tower destruction!

HOLY ****, I have never seen that happen. I believe they can be welded, but you're going to need the car on a frame jig and an alignment rack to make sure it's still straight and true.

What did you do to do that? Looks like you hit a bunch of bumps and just ripped the UCA out of the shock tower.

Get a estimate to fix it from a body shop. If you have a small deductibule might be a better way to go through insurance and make sure it is fixed properly or insurance will total the car.

Eeeek, I have an ingalls camber kit =\

If you need a sedan for your baby, I wouldn't trust this one. If you can afford it, I say sell it/part it out, and buy another sedan.
